Accounting Today identified the top accounting firms in 10 geographic regions across the United States. All 10 regions reported growth in 2014. The Southeast and Gulf Coast regions reported growth of 12.36% and 5.8%, respectively. A characteristic description of the accounting firms in the Southeast and Gulf Coast regions included the number of partners in the firm. The file AccountingPartners3 contains the number of partners. (Data extracted from bit.ly/1BoMzsv)
Assuming that the population variances from both offices are equal, at the 0.10 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference between Southeast region accounting firms and Gulf Coast accounting firms with respect to the mean number of partners?
Referring to Table 10-1, which of the following is an appropriate null hypothesis?
